    Photonics advances in 2020 include commercial hollow-core fiber, deep learning for numerous purposes, and advanced ultrafast lasers for materials processing.
    FIGURE 1. Low-latency hollow-core fiber provides high-frequency traders advantages for tower-to-tower, tower-to-datacenter, and inter- and intra-datacenter connections.
    Hollow-core photonic-bandgap fiber delivers a 1.5 μs/km latency improvement compared to conventional glass-core fiber—a boon for the high-frequency trader market.

    In a schematic of the 0.28 dB/km hollow-core NANF fiber (a), the white lines are cross-sections of the silica tubes that form the guiding core. Reflection from the tubes guides light along the empty central region. A spectral plot (b) compares the attenuation of the 0.28 dB/km fiber (This work in blue) to that of pure silica-core fiber (PSCF in pink), the previous record-holding NANF fiber (NANF in red), and an earlier Southampton design for a hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber (PBGF in green).
    The newest hollow-core fiber has an attenuation only twice that of today’s best solid-core single-mode fibers.

    FIGURE 1. a) The beam profile of a conventional low-loss, 19-cell hollow-core fiber after 20 m shows distortions caused by higher-order modes. b) A spectrogram of the 19-cell fiber shows higher-order mode content as a function of wavelength and differential group delay, revealing large numbers of higher-order modes at low-loss wavelengths. c) The beam profile from a PRISM fiber, and d) a spectrogram of the PRISM fiber show the result of using the shunt cores to robustly eliminate higher-order modes and achieve effectively single-mode operation.
    Hollow-core fibers designed via the "perturbed resonance for improved single modedness" (PRISM) approach rapidly attenuate higher-order modes while allowing the fundamental mode...
    FIGURE 1. The LP01 fundamental mode for conventional singlemode fiber (upper left) is contrasted with a 900 μm2 effective area for a conventional large-mode-area (LMA) fiber (lower left), scaled to their relative sizes. But the measured beam profile from an erbium-doped higher-order-mode (HOM) fiber operating in the LP011 mode (right) shows a much larger 4000 μm2 effective area, enabling fiber amplification with low levels of nonlinearity.
    In the push to scale fiber lasers and amplifiers to higher and higher average powers and pulse energies, one of the routes to decreasing the nonlinearities that typically limit...

    FIGURE 1. A signal enters a few-moded fiber used to obtain ultra-large-mode-area HOM propagation via the conventional, Gaussian-shaped fundamental mode, and is then converted to the desired higher-order mode with long-period fiber-gratings (inset on left shows the broadband, highly efficient nature of this mode conversion). After propagation (passive fiber) or amplification (rare-earth-doped fiber), the signal can exit in one of three conditions: the signal can be free-space propagated in the higher-order mode itself (top right), or converted to a Gaussian mode with a phase plate (middle right) or to another fiber grating (bottom right). Inset on the right shows that a module with input and output gratings can be achieved with less than 0.5 dB loss.
    Few-moded fibers in which a single higher-order mode is excited offer large mode areas, high bend tolerance, and the potential for dispersion tailoring.
